Hemphill VFW to show support for families of servicemen and women now serving

3 years ago By News Staff
Shortly after World War I the Gold Star Mothers Club was formed in the United States to provide support for mothers that lost sons or daughters in the war. The name came from the custom of families of servicemen hanging a banner called a Service Flag in the window of their homes. The Service Flag had a star for each family member in the military. Living servicemen were represented by a blue star, and those who had lost their lives were represented by a gold star. On the last Sunday of September, Gold Star Mother’s Day is observed in the U.S. in their honor.

Experienced bee keeper Sam Franklin (2nd from left) demonstrating one method of fumigating a bee hive to prevent hive beetles. Novice bee keeper John Jenkins (left) is joined by Margie and Thomas Fitch who visited from Shreveport to explore the hobby of bee keeping. The first Monday of the month will find our local bee keepers, and anyone interested in bee keeping, meeting in the Sabine County Chamber of Commerce office. Monday evening found more than a dozen experienced bee keepers, a couple new keepers, and a couple who drove from Shreveport looking for advice on how to get started. There are no dues and no elected officers, just a room full of people more than willing to answer questions and share their knowledge about an enjoyable hobby that can make some money if you choose to go that route.

Little is known about the suspect or suspects that hit more than twenty residents late Thursday night and early Friday morning, but one thing is for certain, automobiles were their target and weapons were on their list.
